  • Publication number: 20220051132
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for classifying free-text content using machine learning. Free-text content (e.g., customer feedback) and parameter values organized according to a schema are received. A free-text corpus is generated, and an artificial-text corpus is generated by applying rules to the parameter values. The artificial-text corpus is generated by converting the parameter values into a finite set of words based on the rules and concatenating the words of the finite set of words into a fixed sequence wordlist. Feature vectors (e.g., sentence embeddings) based on the free-text corpus and the artificial-text corpus are combined and forwarded to a machine learning model for classification. The machine learning model may be trained with a bias towards a specified metric (e.g., precision, recall, F1 score). The model may be trained using transfer learning with training data from a different category of free-text content (e.g., a different category of customer feedback).

  • Patent number: 10368479
    Abstract: This invention belongs to a seedling separating device based on a rack and pinion drive in the field of transplanting machine in the agricultural automation facility, including a rack, a power unit, a linear drive, a number of seedling cups and a cylinder pushing device. The linear actuator is driven by the power unit to move on the frame; these seedling cups are mounted on the linear drive; the cylinder pushing device is mounted on the frame and is located behind the seedling cups and it drives the lower part of the seedling cup to open and retracts to close. The seedling device has simple structure, controllable program and high reliability. The motor drives the seedlings cups to move left and right; the cylinder pushes the cups to be opened and closed; the trust cup is straight down, the seedling attitude is better and the location of seedling can also be adjusted.
